Unidentified Eggs

[JustAFarmer00]

Hey, my neighbors had given me some eggs to hatch, but doesn’t know what breed they are. They have been in the incubator for about 8 days now and they se to be developing fine, but I wanted to post them here to make sure and possibly find out what breed they are. Any help is appreciated! (In the photos, I traced the air sacs and did the best I could to capture the candling of the eggs on camera)

It'll be almost impossible to tell breed by the egg. Post pictures of the hatched chicks at about 4 weeks old.

Also, a candling tip: Candle the eggs in complete darkness for best visibility. You could bring them into a closet, bathroom, or any other dark room, or wait for it to get dark outside.

Noted, I marked the air sac with pencil, how do they look for an egg of that size

Those look on the smaller side, but lots of breeds lay smaller side eggs. Are they all that size? What breeds does your neighbor keep?

They are all that size and my neighbor keeps true-bantams and silkie-bantams. Also, are you suggesting I should lower the humidity?

That makes sense. I would second SilverBirds, I can't think of a way to tell what breeds those might be unless there was a detailed list of the potential breeds, and they lay different shades of brown. Silkies lay white eggs, so probably not them, unless they are crosses.

I am not sure about humidity, but if you start a thread about humidity levels for bantams, I'm sure you would get some good advice.

Thanks, I’ll do that now
